Omeat, a leader in cultivated meat production, has rebranded to Evergreen Select and raised an additional $6 million in funding. The company is shifting its focus to bringing stability to the volatile beef industry, working alongside existing meat producers rather than attempting to replace them. Evergreen is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing supply chains, providing predictable quality, pricing, and execution to help partners manage volatility and keep beef affordable for consumers.

Why it matters

The cultivated meat industry has often emphasized disruption, but Evergreen is taking a different approach by prioritizing operational discipline, regulatory focus, and partnership with the existing beef supply chain. This signals a renewed confidence from investors and industry that cultivated meat can be a practical solution to strengthen the reliability and affordability of beef.

The details

Evergreen's new identity formalizes a strategy that shifts cultivated meat from a consumer curiosity to a dependable infrastructure solution. The company is working with meat distributors in the US and Singapore to bring blended ground beef products to market, and is well advanced in the regulatory review process in both regions. Evergreen is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing end-to-end workflows, helping partners manage volatility, stabilize pricing, and forecast with confidence.

  • In 2025, one of the most constrained funding years for the sector, Evergreen successfully raised an additional $6 million.
  • Evergreen expects to obtain regulatory approval in the near future.
